The issue was my motherboard. I plugged in my old one and everything worked fine. Pretty annoying, but at least everything works. Thanks for everyone's help.

When I went to install Windows 8 two days ago I encountered the issue where it wouldn't let me install on any drives that were mdr, I'm guessing they were mdr when I had Windows 7 and then it didn't make a difference when I upgraded to Windows 8. The installer doesn't like the mdr drives, it...

Most of my friends play on laptops so I wouldn't be able to use that, I'll try the bootable linux version though. I believe I still have one of them. I'll try that when I get home from work today. I have a couple of new ones that I'll switch it out with. Would you recommend only the SSD at...

Is this something that can be done using the command prompt on the repair disk? I don't have any way to boot into windows right now. I had windows on my SSD drive and my other 3 drives only had files. I could probably plug in a old hard drive and install XP on it and then use that to copy files...

Dang, I just bought it around 6 months ago. Is it possible to install Windows on an existing drive without removing any files on it? I have a 1TB that I could use but it has all of my game saves on it

I can always boot into bios fine. Sometimes the bios screen will pop up twice. I opened up advanced settings using a windows disk and wiped my SSD drive and am trying to reinstall Windows 8 on it again. Whenever I check the temperature for my CPU it is always around 40 degrees Celsius. While in...

I can't even get my windows dvd to boot. I ordered a new heatsink so it should be here tomorrow. I'm really hoping that'll fix it. I'll double check all of the connections on the motherboard as well as all of the pins for the CPU

Ok I'll get a Windows 8 installation DVD then. I ordered a new heatsink off of Amazon and it should be here tomorrow as well. I'll leave the current one on their for now until the new one arrives tomorrow. I know it takes a little time for the CPU and heatsink to "settle" with the thermal paste...

I just installed a new GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 motherboard. I installed my old stock CPU fan after cleaning it with canned air and wiping the base, it got pretty noisy before the computer crashed so I'm thinking it could be a CPU temp issue. Right now my CPU is sitting at 47.0 C on my bios...

Well I played StarCraft II on high settings for around four hours today and I didn't have any issues. I'm hoping that changing the power cords and reinstalling the driver fixed it.

I'll try to find my manual and see if it mentions anything. Thanks I uninstalled the driver using windows. I then uninstalled CCC and all of the other AMD programs I had installed. I downloaded the newest CCC and then rebooted my computer. After the boot I installed CCC. Is their anything I...

I installed individual power cords from my PSU to my Video card, unfortunately it did it again. The connectors had an option for either 8 pin or 6 pin connections. I put the 6 pin in the video card and it fit perfectly. I just thought of trying to move my video card to another slot...

I'm pretty sure it does. Its one of those power supplies where you can plug in the cables you need (modular?) I saw some cables with the 6 pin connectors but I didn't realize they fit my video card

I remember filling it out when I registered. I guess it didn't save. I'll fill it out once I get home from work I believe the adapters came with the video card. Once I get home I'll plug in the other cables. I'll let you know what happens.

I've had this problem with two different power supplies PC Power and Cooling 610W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703005 and my current PSU CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010 My video card has two...
